Description. ♀. Apterous; body length 2.9–3.1 mm. Head brown, except mandible, clypeus, malar space, anterior half of frons and ventral side partly or totally testaceous; antenna brown-testaceous, except antennomeres 1–3 testaceous; mesosoma black, except lateral regions of pronotum testaceous; metasoma brown; legs brown-yellow. Head ( Fig. 207I ) excavated, dull, granulate; frontal line incomplete, only present in posterior half of frons; POL = 1; OL = 2; OOL = 8; temple distinct; occipital carina incomplete, shortly present on sides of lateral ocelli. Palpal formula 6/3. Pronotum crossed by strong transverse impression, dull, granulate. Mesoscutum dull, granulate, less than twice as long as broad (11:6) with two lateral pointed apophyses ( Fig. 208A ). Mesoscutellum sloping anteriorly, shiny, unsculptured. Metanotum dull, flat, transversely striate, excavated behind mesoscutellum ( Fig. 208B ), with sides protruding; lateral protrusions slightly pointed ( Fig. 208A ). Metapectal-propodeal disc dull, granulate; propodeal declivity granulate, with posterior half transversely striate. Mesopleuron granulate and partly transversely striate. Metapleuron transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture distinct and complete. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 13:2:4:18:25. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 206D ) with one small subapical tooth and three small lamellae or peg-like bristles + one bristle. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 206D ) with inner side proximally serrate and two rows of 3 (proximal) + 20–21 lamellae; apex with about eight lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
